Sun Yat-sen Exhibition Unveils Rare Artefacts

Description

To commemorate Sun Yat-sen’s passing just over 100 years ago, the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum is hosting From Healing Patients to Saving a Nation — Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, a special exhibition looking back on his life.

Organised in conjunction with the Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Zhongshan and the Macao Museum, the exhibition features over sixty artefacts, documents and photographs. Highlights include a scroll Sun wrote for Hong Kong seamen in 1920, his written orders given in his capacity as the Army and Navy Grand Marshal, a map of his plan for China’s national reconstruction and more. The exhibition underscores his deep ties with the region and enduring legacy in shaping the nation’s future.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum will host three free lectures on the last Saturday of the coming three months: Etiquette and the Nation: The Significance of Dr Sun Yat-sen’s Image in Republican Society on 31 January, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao on 28 February and Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the Youth on 28 March. All three lectures will be held between 11:00 and 13:00.

The first two lectures will be delivered in Cantonese, while the third one will be conducted in Putonghua. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with admission beginning 15 minutes before each lecture.
